Heather woke up. She was still tied up, and cloth taped against her mouth to prevent her from screaming. She had heard Knossos and friends come into the very cave that she was in and she couldn’t figure out WHY they did not find her. As soon as the *guests* had left, the lead mob came in and released her to the very room that she was imprisoned in. But, with the guard standing at the entrance to her room, there was very little room for escape. All she wanted to do was get back home and resume her teaching lessons to the community. Since that was not going to be the case, she could draw maps and words on the cave floor.
Her first lesson plan had been based on flaxen, a fiber for making fabric. As she started writing stuff on the wall, she heard a comotion outside. The door opened, the light was so bright, Heather could only cower in the dark shadows.Someone was thrown in the room and the door once again closed. Heather could only wonder who was in the room with her and needed to try to figure out if it was friend or foe………………………

Knossos woke up with a cold sweat and his heart hammering away. He had heard a sound, but he could not distinguish what that sound was. Slowly he got up and grabbed his weapon and shield and put his armor on. He was so quiet, noone else in the camp heard him. He stepped outside to the cold morning light and walked cautiously around, not wanting to disturb those who needed sleep. He came across a tree with scratches on the branch. He moved in a bit deeper into the thicket when he heard a loud THUMP! THUMP! His heart beat even faster as he pulled out his weapon. He yelled out to the monster to show himself or he would die a swift death. Knossos crept into what seemed to be a den, very slowly as he didn’t want death by element surprise. He heard what he thought were words, but with the wind blowing, he could not hear, so he stepped further into the darkened cave. He could see eyes glowing in front of him.The words came again, but this time he could hear them and his skin crawled with first, fear and anger. Heather….Heather…….
Knossos knew right then and there that he had found Heather. While he didn’t have all he needed to do a down right dirty fight, he knew then that he had to return to camp to get the others to help slay the beasts that held Heather. He took his knife, marked an x on the outside of the cave and left to wake up the others.

The harsh rays of sunlight woke up Knossos. He didn’t quite feel like getting up out of his comfy bed. He would rather go back to sleep, but alas, he needed to gather up Heather’s Pa, Teto and the rest of the gang. After finishing up a wonderful breakfeast served up by our famous cook, Knossos himself, the group geared up and stood at attention and listened to the plan that Knossos had cooked up. When each person got their specific instructions, they headed out to search for Heather………..
They went from one encampent to another, asking everyone they met, if they had seen Heather. One scout mention to head a bit north and then south and they might find her hidden away in one of the caves. When the scout was asked how he knew this information, the scout ran, as fast as he could. The group couldn’t keep up with him. With their stomach growls, they realized that it was evening time and it was best to set up camp where they were, and cook their meals, then get some sleep. Knossos had a hard time sleeping, he had a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach that something was dreadfully wrong. With that he finally fell asleep. (rrrrrr sniff rrrrr snifff)………and

It was a sad day indeed. After negotiations failed, we were sued by the mortgage company that we owed our life to. Our life you ask? Yes, emphatically yes. It was with great sorrow that I had to turn my back on a house that I lived in when I grew up, left and then returned to it to take care of it. Mom and dad died. I promised them both that I would take care of the house. And did I ever. Had so much work done on it that it sparkled outside with the nice shiny look to it.
I said my goodbyes to the house. My husband and son are down there in Connecticut dealing with the mess while I, well, my wonderful husband realizing the toll it was taking on me, moved me up to New Hampshire ahead of schedule.
Renting again, what a difference it is from owning your own house though. Its been years since I have had to rent and its hard. Upstairs makes noise, downstairs makes noise, and I know I make noise, but I dont complain about their noise, but I get dirty looks from theirs. Go figure.
At any rate, I am back, and will restart my Istarian blogging. And , another really important thing I need to tell you all. Sooooo many of my friends in Istaria have been extremely supportive of what I have been going through. They send me nice hugs to help me get through this, and wonderful posts on the boards to also help me. Without them, and without my wonderful husband and son, I would not have been able to go through this! THANK YOU! And Thank you Istaria Gods for allowing me to gather my wits together and allowed me a graceful period of time when I could not blog, even if I wanted to.
*bows out*

After they were well fed, they began their search. They traveled into the thickets and came across a camp of Mitheral Golems. Course, they couldn’t quite understand the language of the golems so decided the best course to take was to slay them and search their cave. A mighty battle ensued and the golems met their fate. Knossos took the lead into the cave to see if there were any items that might have been left behind by Heather. He searched and searched , but alas, nothing was found. Not feeling guilty about the battle that took place, and the deaths as well, Knossos and the rest of the group continued to search for Heather. It was getting late and they could no longer continue the search until daylight. They took to setting up a campfire, cooked their food, ate and contemplated what they would do tomorrow for the search for Heather.

Heathers mom noticed the darkness settling in. Something had to have happened to her daughter as she trembled. It was so very unlike her to not be home with the fine wolf she would have caught and brought in for their supper. Heathers Pa was feeling the same, although perhaps, a bit guilty as well. He hadn’t realized that Heather had not come home for supper. As darkness approached, Heather’s Pa went looking for folks. He came across Knossos,Cgan,Teto, Sonea, Lovyrworm and a few others. They agreed that it was time to set out a hunt for Heather before darkness…………………..

a noise startled her. She woke up, still feeling less than refreshed, and still very groggy. The darkness prevented her from being able to tell what time of the day it was. She screamed, and noone responded to her. She had goosebumps, as if something was near her, breathing softly, snorting now and then.
All Heather could think of was her parents. Where were they? Were they trying to find her and did they even know she was missing? She cried…and cried…until she could cry no more and fell into a deep slumber. Meanwhile……………………….

She woke up. It was dark and damp. She did not know where she was, nor could she see where she was. Her brain was numbed as if she had been drugged. She wanted to scream as loudly as she could, but to her dismay, she simply could not. Her hands were bound in back of her and her eyes were covered so that she could not see. What in the world had bested her? How could she have been taken here? Would her family even find her? Would the Istarian Gods even try to help her?
Frantically, Heather tried to shift her weight with the hopes that she could bring herself to a standing position, but that failed miserably. The harder she tried, the more tired she had become. She decided that sleep was the best for her at this point of time. And she did just that, fell soundly asleep until………………………

A hunting we will go, a hunting we will go, hi ho the dario , a hunting we will go! For some reason, those very words were going to get her killed if she didn’t pay attention to what she was doing. She so wanted to please her papa with a good hunt to show for her hard work. Her caution payed off, as she spotted a wolf not too far from where she stood. She slowly moved in a bit closer, being very careful to not let the prey know she was there. As she drew her bow back, just as she was going to let the arrow fly, the wolf ran. Heather sighed as she tried to find another wolf. She wondered if it was worth trying to find one or just head home. On her way home, she comes across another wolf. This time she would not lose this wolf. she gathered her wits and……………………….

After eating her lunch, Heather all but wanted to lay down and take a nap. But, now that harvesting the flax was all done she needed to process the flax into spools, which really was quite easy to do. So, she sat down in front of the fabric machine and spun her flax to spools. This process is so much fun because it leads to making very nice cargo gear. Now, cargo gear and a disk are two very important things to have when your out gathering resources! Cargo gear lets you carry a bit more and the disk holds a considerable amount of raw resources. At that point, fill your disk and yourself with resources and wander down to a machine and processs. This process utilizes ore, essence, cotton and many other resources.
Once that was done, Heather decided to get herself a snack. As she entered the house, all she could think about was how mom was right that she didn’t take the time to learn how to cook. Heather realized that she needed to get her cooking skills done and as soon as possible. Realizing that time was running out and dad had asked her to go hunting for some meat for supper, Heather set herself up with her hunting gear and headed out to the forest to do some hunting.
